Well - I do not suggest this - but a better simulation would be to put it  in 
gear. AT an idle, it would have more of a load. But, honestly, Corvairs  cool 
better at idle than at speed - unlike most other cars. To cool off a  hot 
running Corvair, you just let it idle. (Providing the fan is working!) You  
should really try to get the shrouding taken care of, however. The upper sealing  
of the Corvair is necessary for better cooling.
